85/110

SYZYGY


86/110

226


87/110

If the context you are readinghas a new word or a slightlynew word after twenty-twowords, throw away the

dictionary.


88/110

That is to say, if there are six

words new to you on a pageof a paperback book thenkeep reading! You are at JUST

the right level!!!


89/110

BUT

If you find that there is a new word ineach line of the page you are reading.

Please have mercy on the book!! Or

yourself!!! Get an easier one to read!!!


90/110

The next rule is perhaps moreprofound than the first: DO NOT

look up a word in the dictionaryuntil and unless you have read it inSix different places before. Only

then should you look it up in adictionary.


91/110

So, remember

the magicnumbers 1:22and 6!


92/110

Now that you know themeaning of the word,

what should you do nownot to forget it again?


93/110

The strategy

We are going to give you now will ensure

That you will remember the word for therest of your LIFE!!!

You will NEVER need to look up THATword in the dictionary again.Guaranteed!!!


94/110

MAINTAIN A WORD

POWER NOTE BOOK!

COMPLAINTS ABOUT USINGTHE DICTIONARY DURING


95/110

THE DICTIONARY DURINGREADING

Because there is more than one meaning towords, to decide on the appropriate one isnot easy.

Because the concentration breaks wheneveryou go hunting for the meaning in thedictionary, enormous amount of energy and

time is needed to get back that flow ofinterest in the reading.


96/110

Find at least three

words daily to write inyour Note Book.(Give yourself a break

on Fridays).


97/110

Write the word first and inthe next column write the

sound of any letters,which you think you may

get wrong.


98/110

Write the meaning of theword from the dictionaryin the next column and

then in the fourth columnwrite the sentence from

where you found it (inprint form)


99/110

Finally now in thelast column write a

sentence of yourown using the word.
